    Stefanopolis got a reaction from da na in Experiences with non-techies   
    I've never laughed so hard reading a thread. But anyways, my 6th grade teacher asked me to help her with the movie we were going to watch and said it wouldn't go in the slot. Turns out, she was using a Pentium 3 computer, and she was literally trying to shove the DVD into the flipping floppy disk bay. i told her "That's not how it works," and once she finally understood what to put the DVD into, she put it into the optical bay upside down.  <_<

    Hey so I figured out that it's playing audio ads in the background and it's in my audio tray and shows up as like 10+ different sources. Any Ideas?

    While I was typing my response, my PC was restated because of handful.exe. This may have seemed confusing but after much trial and error I think I finally figured it out. "Handful.exe," the file, had complete system permissions, hid in the Program Files (x86) folder in a hidden folder that i had to change to non-hidden to view it. If I deleted the file, it would restart my PC and just come back. What I had to do is: 
    1. Deny all system permissions
    2. Change the folder (which was called "Increments") to be visible
    3. Individually delete all processes in task manager 
    4. Delete "handful.exe" before the processes restarted
    5. Delete the folder "Increments"  There was also a folder called Mkt and maruguerite, if anyone wanted to know.
    6. Empty recycling bin, CCleaner, Malwarebytes, etc.
    It was weird and kept coming back, but I hope it's gone for good. 
    Thanks for all the help guys! This community truly is great.

    Glad it all worked out in the end without reinstalling Windows.

    So I was playing my iPod, and my friend came over and said, "Dude! Wouldn't it be awesome if you took the graphics card out of your iPod and put it in a GTX!?! That'd be a super fast GPU!" Facpalms, facepalms everywhere

    Because he tries to make a comparison to prove linus wrong, but uses different software and hardware. It wouldn't bother me if he had run windows and premiere on the mac book.

    My friend calls it "UBS" and refuses to believe it's USB, so I always laugh inside when we're in Engineering and he says "Hey where did you put my UBS drive?" More of a "Experience with non-techies" post than a quote but he says that all the time so I thought I'd put it here.

    Stefanopolis got a reaction from Khajiit Dealer in Please Explain to me what I need to do to replace my graphics cards   
    Simple. Turn off your PC, make sure you're grounded of any electricity, unscrew the PCI Bracket, unplug your power connectors ( may be 6 or 8 Pin), remove your SLI Bridge and gingerly remove your GPUs. When your 980 TI arrives, put it in the topmost PCIe 16x slot and screw on the PCI Bracket, plug in the power, and install the drivers.

    Most modern pop music seems to not sound significantly better on open cans. Pretty sure they Taylor (see what I did there) to the Beats crowd (heavy bass, no mids, no interment separation) so they don't make much sense on generally bass-lacking open cans.
